Hello everyone!

Trying hard to sweep spider webs on my screen. lol no. Well, it's been long time since i publish the last post. I'm not running out inspiration but i'm running out my willingness to write hoho. So many inspirations but so lazy to write. 

But today, i come with something different. This idea just came in my mind when i'm eating sate and i realize how i really love indonesian food. I have a truly indonesian tongue although i don't really like rice. Weird isn't it? Can i still be called having indonesian tongue? hoho. Let's just go straight to the point. 

In this post, i would like to share what are indonesian foods that i'll surely miss when i'm abroad. Cause i'm planning to go abroad someday. No, sorry, i'm dreaming to go abroad someday :D

There are many kinds of bakso nowadays; chicken bakso, beef bakso, fish bakso or shrimp bakso. You can also find frozen bakso in supermarket or even fried bakso. It usually served with a bowl of beef or chicken broth, with noodles or bihun (rice vermicelli)

• Pontianak Fried Banana

Pontianak is a city located in Kalimantan (if i'm not mistaken). One of its special food is the fried banana. It's not the same with fried banana you usually find at the roadside cateries. Pontianak's fried banana is dipped into seasoned flour first then fried. I don't know what they use, but they also make this banana crunchy and crispyy. Yummyy!

• Fried Rice

Indonesian fried rice is so special. It's fried with Indonesian spices, fried onion and sometimes with chopped chicken, beef or scrambled egg. Many foreigner get addicted to this famous food. You can easily find fried rice all over Indonesia but of course with different spice each place. Sometimes, you don't even need to go out and buy it by yourself. In Indonesia, nasi goreng/fried rice sellers sell it around your place with cart. The sign of the seller's coming is the sound of hit pan, "TEK TEK".
